OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by MaggieMay on December 24, 2014 at 12:58pm: This group has gotten extremely quiet but for anyone out there MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Comment by NORBELY on October 31, 2014 at 11:29am: Very expensive from the Pacific to anywhere in the US. My son is coming home in March ,I want to buy his ticket on my credit card now and pay it off by the time he comes home,just to use it again. His ticket will be close to 1,500.00. can't find a discount.

Comment by djk's Mom on October 31, 2014 at 11:20am: I also got to hear my Son's voice, certainly made my month. He told me he was granted leave for Christmas. Now to find him a way home without mortgaging the house!

Comment by NORBELY on October 31, 2014 at 11:10am: Hi,

sorry I havn't been on for some time. I also heard from my son a few times,usually at 2am .I didn't care it was nice hearing his voice.He can't wait to get to Japan also,being deployed for so long has taken it's toll. They want land and a little fun as well. They work very hard on the ship I was told some times even 16hrs. Hard to sleep because of the planes that are constantly on the move. We are Proud of all of them.

Comment by JGMOM on October 31, 2014 at 10:58am: Hi joshmom and everyone! I too heard from my son...he's doing good but can't wait to get back to Japan. I also got to see a recent pic of him on FB...he's still a cutie :)

Best to you all!

Comment by MaggieMay on October 31, 2014 at 10:05am: Happy Halloween!

This group sure has gotten quiet. Hope all your sailors are doing well and enjoying some R&R right now while in port....hope the phone calls have been pouring in. I heard from my son the other day and he sounded great...was getting ready to go golfing with his buddies. It's so comforting to know he's having some fun. They all work so hard and the days are long on deployment. They all deserve fun time!

Have a wonderful Halloween and great weekend!

Comment by Deb on August 1, 2014 at 4:42pm: Hi - Thank you for letting me join your group. My son is aboard the USS George Washington on his first deployment. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Thanks,

Deb
